we wont really have the problem for stage2 i think, because we have ram
there and know the position stage2 lives at. Though it might be
interesting to know and discuss. Qemu was not a good example, since
printk is the only thing initram does there ;)
These are the stage0 symbols that stage2 uses on the qemu target:
undefined reference to `die'
undefined reference to `gdt_limit'
undefined reference to `gdtptr'
undefined reference to `get_option_table'
undefined reference to `post_code'
undefined reference to `printk'
undefined reference to `rtc_init'
undefined reference to `sprintf'
i think the gdt stuff is for vga bios emulation.
rtc_init should probably not be called in stage2 because it was called
in stage0/1 already
